Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and financial reporting policies of State Street Corporation conform to U.S. GAAP. State Street Corporation, the Parent Company, is a financial holding company headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in these notes to consolidated financial statements to “State Street,” “we,” “us,” “our” or similar references mean State Street Corporation and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, including our principal banking subsidiary, State Street Bank.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements accompanying these condensed notes are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated results of operations in these financial statements, have been made. Certain previously reported amounts presented in this Form 10-Q have been reclassified to conform to current-period presentation. Events occurring subsequent to the date of our consolidated statement of condition were evaluated for potential recognition or disclosure in our consolidated financial statements through the date we filed this Form 10-Q with the SEC.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in the application of certain of our significant accounting policies that may materially affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses. As a result of unanticipated events or circumstances, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Our consolidated statement of condition as of December 31, 2024 included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all notes required by U.S. GAAP for a complete set of consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Sanctions programs or government intervention may inhibit our ability to access cash and due from banks in certain accounts. For example, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we held accounts in Russia that were subject to sanctions restrictions, inclusive of $1.3 billion and $0.8 billion, respectively, with our subcustodian, which is an affiliate of a large multinational bank, and with western European-based clearing agencies, for a total of approximately $2.0 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. Cash and due from banks is evaluated as part of our allowance for credit losses.

The amendments require disclosure of information about certain costs and expenses in both interim and annual reporting periods. Specified information includes expense amounts relating to purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and selling expenses with the definition thereof.

We are currently evaluating the disclosure impact of the new standard.
ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax DisclosuresThe amendments related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures and require disclosures of (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. Additional amendments require (1) disclosures of pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit) to be consistent with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, and (2) remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial or relevant.Annual reporting for period ending December 31, 2025
We do not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material impact on our financial statements.
Additionally, we continue to evaluate other accounting standards that were recently issued, but not yet adopted as of June 30, 2025; none are expected to have a material impact to our financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
We carry trading account assets and liabilities, AFS debt securities, certain equity securities and various types of derivative financial instruments, at fair value in our consolidated statement of condition on a recurring basis. Changes in the fair values of these financial assets and liabilities are recorded either as components of our
consolidated statement of income or as components of AOCI within shareholders' equity in our consolidated statement of condition.
We measure fair value for the above-described financial assets and liabilities in conformity with U.S. GAAP that governs the measurement of the fair value of financial instruments. Management believes that its valuation techniques and underlying assumptions used to measure fair value conform to the provisions of U.S. GAAP. We categorize the financial assets and liabilities that we carry at fair value based on a prescribed three-level valuation hierarchy. For information about our valuation techniques for financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value and the fair value hierarchy, refer to pages 130 to 135 in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included under Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in our 2024 Form 10-K.
